Sanctuary AI’s dexterous robotic hands offer in-hand manipulation [Video]

Sanctuary AI claims to have reached a milestone in robotics, advancing toward its goal of developing human-like intelligence in general-purpose robots.

The company’s dexterous robotic hands, featuring 21 degrees of freedom (DOF), now enable intricate in-hand manipulation. The advancement expands the potential for robots to perform complex industrial tasks requiring fine motor skills.

The Vancouver-based AI and robotics company’s dexterous robotic hands use miniaturized hydraulic valves, offering higher power density over cable and electromechanical systems. The innovative actuation enhances speed, strength, control, durability, impact resistance, and heat management.

“Demonstrating in-hand manipulation with a scalable and reliable system is a key milestone towards demonstrating the breadth and viability of capable general purpose robots. …
